Eco Village

What is the Eco Village?

In the Summer of 2012, we broke ground on the first units of the “Eco Village” in River Falls, WI. Now with ten families moved in to their net-zero homes, we are proving that sustainable housing can and should be beautiful and affordable for all. Join with us as we build out the rest of this 18 home model neighborhood of sustainable, integrated community design. The Eco Village is a catalytic example of what’s possible in the green building industry, beautifully demonstrating that efficient, ecological building practices can ensure lasting affordability for our hardworking partner families.
